They have good days and bad. Some days they are just happy to be held. You put them down and it's a screaming cat in a disposal. The others are give me a blanket and leave me be. I prefer the leave me be. But with two I can only jiggle one at a time. It's another day
Done. Wife is home :)

Good ol masking tape. The lines are kinda sketchy but if you step back six feet it looks really good.

Kinda like professional cheerleaders. "20footers"

This weekend has been really good

My daughter teens 16 tomorrow am. It's exciting!
My wife had some good neighbors that put on a baby shower for us. Boy the generosity is so great. Between cloths and diapers and food we are in a good place for a few more months.
My eight year old and I had a serous talk about honor again. ( caught him telling me a lie or two this weekend) it's odd how fast the mental state changes when you wake them up in the middle of sleep to discuss things of importance. Less of a busy mind and more room for calm thoughts. Anyway I think he understands a little better then our previous talks

Being Sunday it was shower time for the twins. It's less pain for me to shower them instead of lean over a tub on my knees. Today I noticed they are growing!! Little pot bellies and arms that are now larger then my feet. They can grip my finger and hold on for dear life when that water first hits. Other then that it was nice to see progress. Size does matter!!

Fortunately for both me and her. She has two dads laying in wait for the little Peter better boys. The twins man oh man the cry boxes are getting louder and louder. Poopy diapers are more regular and boy I don't like this at all. I need to dig out my 3m respirator.

Now if you just had something to use the "green glue"on.

Best times is when they fill the new diaper before you get it on.

growing up on a dairy farm, you are subjected to all kinds of putrid smells. but I can honestly say that when a child goes from milk/formula to real food..............that was probably the one and only time that I had a reaction.

cudakidd53 · « **Reply #77 on:** October 09, 2015, 12:29:33 PM »

OOhh, look! The boys first motivation to climb- stuff on a shelf! Before you know it, they'll be doing "Flying Welendas" type stuff!

A suggestion for your scream fest- CEREAL........ya, doctors might pooh, pooh it, but when my 3 would start waking up every night at the same time, hungry, I started giving them a small amount of really heavy on the formula, cereal mix- gotta watch it so you don't bind them up, but a little of that and they'll usually start sleeping through the night......well at least the middle part of it!

Obviously, check with your health care professional first, but it worked for all 3 of mine

Nate · « **Reply #78 on:** October 09, 2015, 01:55:50 PM »

dave, I agree with mike here. give them a little something heavy in the tumm tumm when you put them to sleepy and they should be good thru the night.

also, you may want to check your level for warpage.....those shelves look a little off?

Bigdave_185 · « **Reply #79 on:** October 09, 2015, 01:56:03 PM »

I'll have to give that question for the dr for sure. I can see why that would work well.

I hung them off the square on purpose. That way they can swing to the next higher level, they are about four inches different

I had to take the baby monitor away from the wife about a year into it. The little one had trained her to get up every night at 2 am, crying. I took the monitor and turned it almost off and put it next to me. She cried about 20 minutes and then went back to sleep. Slept through the night ever since. Crying for them is like talking. Dont let it be a Pavlovian response.

Bigdave_185 · « **Reply #83 on:** October 10, 2015, 05:20:30 AM »

Tonight we tried a bit of heavy mixed formula. So far one is still sleeping since ten. The other has been up twice. Good thing about twins is having a test pilot readily available

Like in drinking, two fisting it only works for a little while, then you need a soft couch! Good catch and be careful because they'll be changing yours some day and you don't want to hear that, "remember when you dropped me on my head?" story! :o

The Log Jammer was the one that freaked me out. I bought a kindergarten potty for the kids when they were young. (its the miniature version of the adult toilet often used in daycare/kindergarten) and one of my daughters seemed to always forget to flush. I saw some stuff in there that was impossible to explain how it came out of her....

I have never clogged a toilet in my life. That being said. My eight year old sure has some troubling eating habits that cause some scary things

Is it a bad thing to roll over nudge the wife and ask. "Did you feed the boys at all last night?" Her response was great " no I don't think I did at all" as in the bed room I hear the boys screaming like they were going to die. You know that death scream kids get. Well turns out my body was going to sleep through anything and she was on the same plan
